There are indeed many curious people all around the world who need to know which is the better treatment method is and if you are one of the many that has tried out both, you will immediately realize that the differences are really very huge. This interesting debate continues to excite the curiosity of those who want to know more about the subject of electrolysis versus laser hair removal.
Electrolysis Hair Removal
To begin with, it is electrologists that can perform electrolysis which requires insertion of a needle into the hair follicle through which an electrical impulse is sent while simultaneously tweezing the hair and removing the hair shaft. The result of sending electrical currents into the hair follicle will cause the killing of the hair follicles, which will thus prevent any further hair growth there. The whole process of electrolysis is slow because each hair has to be treated individually, and thus will entail having to make a number of visits to treat the problem. This is a major point of difference when on the subject of evaluating electrolysis versus laser hair removal methods.
However, because sometimes the electrolysis needle isn't on target, you often need several treatment sessions to completely remove all hair in a particular area. If you are using electrolysis for a large area, like your legs, you may require many months of weekly appointments
Also, if the area affected is large, electrolysis can become a big chore. In addition, there is also pain to contend with even though the electric shock is small. The problem is that the electric currents are given very close to one another which will cause the skin to become tender and there may also be red patches. This is another difference in electrolysis versus laser hair removal because laser hair removal is much friendlier for the patient and is performed by a cosmetic surgeon as opposed to an electrologist.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a more effective way to remove hair from large areas such as the legs. Laser works by killing hair follicles with heat. First a black-colored solution is applied to the legs, and this solution is absorbed by the hair follicles. The laser then targets its heat to the black spots. But laser is relatively more expensive, and it still isn't perfect. A recent study showed that laser therapy removed about 30% of hair in about two-thirds of people undergoing treatment. So again, multiple visits may be necessary. Most people decide how to treat excess hair based on cost, convenience, and/or a nearby or recommended practitioner.
Another point of difference in the electrolysis versus laser hair removal debate is that laser hair removal gets over a lot faster due to the fact that there are many follicles that can be handled at a given point of time as opposed to the individual treatment of hair follicles in the electrolysis method. In addition, laser hair removal works much better when treating large areas of the body, and this can significantly tilt the balance in favor of laser hair removal when evaluating the electrolysis versus laser hair removal methods.
In addition, laser hair removal is virtually pain-free as opposed to electrolysis both during as well as following the procedure. This must also be considered in the debate on electrolysis versus laser hair removal. Electrolysis Vs Laser Hair Removal Sudbury. No method of hair removal has ever been shown to result in an increase in hair growth. Shaven hairs sometimes appear thicker than hair that has been allowed to grow, and thus, with time, have a weakened shaft and softer ends, but they aren't actually any thicker.
